You people are sooo awesome! I asked for six reviews and I got ten! XD

And thanks to those who wished me a happy birthday. : )

And as promised, here's another chapter for this week.

PreCoM.

/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/- Scientific Drawing -/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/

Namine quietly started drawing after she sat down onto the cold stone floor in Vexen's lab making sure to stay away from the many tables that were covered with assorted chemicals, empty test tubes, and some weird scale looking thing that Namine had no clue about... The scientist wasn't here yet but it didn't really matter. See, a few weeks back Xemnas decided that everyday a member of the Organization has to go down to Vexen's lab and assist him with whatever he may need help with, and so whenever a member just didn't feel like it or somehow 'got sick' the job was obviously pushed onto the girl who did nothing all day except drawing. Of course no one in the Organization really cared that she was trying to gain the most control she possibly could of her memory changing powers (since a lot of the time when she was drawing people would walk by and somehow just forget why they were there in the first place); it still looked like just plain drawing to them. But anyways, is it turned out, no matter how steady Namine's hands could be while drawing with even some of the weirdest crayons and other artistic materials she could barely walk two inches trying to carry a beaker. Maybe she just wasn't a steady walker... The main point is that all Namine did in the lab was the same she did outside of it. Nothing but drawing. No one really cared though that she wasn't doing anything different from normal. As long as they didn't have to be the ones stuck in Vexen's lab.

With all that being said, she was surprised when Vexen portalled in and informed her that no matter how clumsy she was he needed her help today. And that hopefully she would actually be less clumsy today. The artist closed her sketchbook and put it as far as she could from all the tables and the chemicals Vexen had littered everywhere across his lab. She wouldn't even consider putting it on the currently empty tables at all as it was impossible to know -or even want to know- all that had been on those tables before... Vexen tapped his foot impatiently at his normal work table as he waited for Namine to come over. As soon as walked over Vexen explained what he wanted her to do.

"As soon as I mix these two chemicals together," He pointed to a small rack on the table in front of him that held a light bluish liquid and a dark green one. "I need you to get the one on the top right corner of the rack over there," He pointed to another small rack that was on a table further away. "And then bring it back over and hand it to me. I'll decide if I need you anymore after that."

Namine just looked at him confusedly. "What do you need me for? Couldn't you just get the other chemical yourself since I'm more likely to drop it?"

"Because if I get the two chemicals I already mixed even slightly shaken up before the other one is also mixed it could ruin the whole experiment. That's why. Want to try and find any more ways to defy orders?"

She didn't hesitate at all to quickly shake her head. She had been wrong to doubt him in the first place anyways. He was a skilled scientist while she was just some artist. The only things she could mix were colors. And by the looks of the chemicals Vexen planned to mix together it wouldn't be a very pretty color in the end. She wasn't even sure she wanted to know what the color would end up to be. And she doubted that Vexen really cared at allwhat the color would end up being.

If Vexen had even seen or noticed any reaction to the answer to his question he didn't show it; he had already begun mixing the first two chemicals together. Namine walked to the other rack and picked up the red chemical that was on the top right corner. She came close to dropping it and possibly collapsing onto the floor as well as the smell from it filtered up into her nose. It smelled worse than eggs or rotten cheese. It probably smelled even worse than both eggs and rotten cheese mixed together. She didn't even want to know what that would smell like... Namine took a deep breath of air -nearly dropping the chemical again since most of what she breathed in was that nasty smell- and slowly walked back towards Vexen who looked like he would have been tapping his foot impatiently again if he hadn't been holding his mixture of the first two chemicals.

Each step just seemed to take longer and longer as the stench started making her lightheaded. What was in that vile red liquid? ...As all the other things she had been thinking that day, she wasn't sure if she really wanted to know...

Vexen only raised an eyebrow as she started nearly swerving around as she came closer. He easily assumed from how pale her face was getting and that her eyes were starting to look glazed over that she didn't even realize how close she came to running into the corner of another table. Twice. Then three times. Maybe he should consider having less tables everywhere...

Namine didn't even realize she had made it back to Vexen until her mind suddenly cleared slightly from the disgusting smell when he took it from her. Her mind was still only cleared slightly though and it probably wouldn't get too much better; she could still smell the nasty liquid from her standing position next to the Organization's Number Four. She just wasn't sure how long she could uphold that standing position, though. This smell would probably end up giving her permanent brain damage at this rate...

As Vexen walked off to another one of the many tables -luckily for Namine he took the liquid with him- she placed one of her surprisingly freezing cold hands against her forehead that felt like it was on fire. Then her vision slowly started bluring as it had been before. She really did collapse now onto the floor as she realized she was smelling the burning chemicals from the table where Vexen was at. Oh yeah... she had forgotten that was the table where Vexen heated his chemicals...

Vexen sighed and turned around to face in Namine's direction as her heard her thud onto the floor of his lab in a near faint. He sighed again and turned the stove off, quickly coming to the conclusion that the smell from the burning chemicals was what was making Namine get sick, and because he couldn't keep track of his experiment very well if there was a girl passing out right near him. Actually he could probably just leave her there, but then the Superior probably wouldn't be in the best mood if he found out. He sighed for a third time. This would definitely ruin his whole experiment... He walked over to the fallen figure and pulled her back up onto her feet, and since the smell from the burning chemicals was starting to fade away after her had turned off the stove she was able to stay up but still swayed back and forth a bit. The dazed expression that was clouding her eyes as she looked straight up at him really unnerved him. Though it didn't unnerve him nearly as much as what she said next though after a few minutes. Especially since she looked really happy and had a huge smile plastered onto her face and the haze that seemed to cover her eyes started to look like it was clearing up.

"You are... really really pretty."

Yes, the smell of chemicals had to be going to her brain.

... really uncannon pairings can be fun to write.

Cause I mean really. What if it wasn't just the chemicals going to her brain that made her say that? O.o

Disclaimer: I don't own Namine, Vexen, the Superior, or anything else Kingdom Hearts related.

now... I've gotten even more requests. XP

Requests:

Fuu x Xaldin
Larxene x Xemnas
Larxene x Axel
Larxene x Saix
Larxene x Vexen
Larxene x Zexion
Kairi x Zexion
Marluxia x Saix
Xemnas x Saix
Xigbar x Xaldin

Hehe. I have ten requests now. XD

And I have been very very lazy for the past few days so nothing has happened with the requests I've had since before the last chapter.
And I hadn't gotten very far with them in the first place.
Wow. I'm such a slacker. O.o
Since nothing has changed on those I'll just write the stats of the requests I got from the reviews for the last chapter.

Larxene x Vexen... Isn't too far at all... But if it interests you at all to know, I've seriously just been waiting for somebody to request this pairing. Guess I should have tried to be more prepaired. XD

Larxene x Xemnas seems like the type of pairing idea that will fall on my head from the sky when I least expect it... But nothing's fallen onto my head yet. XP
Actually... I think I just got an idea for it.
Talk about spur of the moment. O.o

Zexion x Kairi I have a slight idea for. I think the idea might actually work out too. Weird.

Xigbar x Xaldin has nothing yet. But I'd very much like to thank the reviewer for requesting it as a friendship. It means I'll probably be able to get around to it a lot sooner. XD

And those are all the requests I've got for those reviews... And no, I'm not complaining. XD

Anyways, next chapter is 'surprisingly' probably not going to be one of the requests. It's Roxas x Namine. I randomly thought up the idea a few days ago and it stuck in my brain. XP

Anyways, please review! And send a request if you want to. XP
